ISAAC NOAR, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

NECKSCARF.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 278,588, dated May 29, 1883. Application filed October 17, 1882. (No model.)

To all zchom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ISAAC NOAR, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York,

in the county of New York' and State of New York, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Neckscarfs; and Ido hereby declare that the following is a. full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being bad to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of this invention in a back view. Fig. 2 is a perspective view, showing front and side. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the covered pasteboard front band before His bent into shape, andshows the ends of the scarf stitched onto the inside lining. Fig. 4 is a view in vertical section taken across the center of the front band. I

This invention has relation to neckscarfs; and it consists in the construction and novel arrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claimsappended.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter a designates a front band, made of pasteboard, buckram, or other stifl'ening, and covered with the silk, satin, or other fabric forming the exposed surface of the scarf. This neckband is bent at top and bottom, so that it has a rear wall, b, a front wall, a, and open sides cl d. To the inside of the rear wall, I), of, the band, on one side, near the top bend, c, is attached one end of the neck-strip g, which is also covered,

on its exposed surface with the silk or other fabric above referred to. Below this end of the neck-strip, and on the same side of the band a, is secured to its rear wall the hook or pin h, whereby the other end of the neck-strip is secured to said band after it has been passed around the neck and transversely through the band in front.

The scarf ends 7s It may be of any tasteful pattern, and may be made of or covered with the silk, satin, or other fabric desired. These scarf ends are attached to the inside front wall of the banda, on each side and project laterally from the open ends (I of the band. Their free ends are bent downward on each side of the band a and are brought together under the same, so as to form tasteful pendants, which may be secured together by means of a pin,

ring, or other fastening device.

The neck-strip may be fastened to the band a in a detachable manner by means of a hook and eyelet, so that it can be removed when the device is to be worn with a turned-down collar. The band 0r should in this case be provided with afastening, z, for the collar-button.

A loop-piece for a necktie has been provided with a pocketfor the reception of a shield or piece of card-board, carrying a pin or stabber to fasten-the free end of the neck-strip. and this loop-piece has been adapted to be folded over the neck-strip and secured by a button, so as to be unfolded when it became necessary to wash the. fabric of which the necktie was composed, and this construction is not claimed herein. with angular ends and central openings, having aprons. flaps, and a neckband, is also old, as shown in Patent No. 239,695, of JlSwl. Forming the scarf-strip of two pieces. united centrally at an angle more or less obtuse, so that when the two ends of the strip are folded and crossed one upon the other the intersec tion of their upper edges shall be brought comparatively near to the neck and the scarf be wider in form at top and bottom, has also been practiced prior to myinvention.

Having described this invention, what I- claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A neck-scarf having an open-side front 2. A neckscarf consisting of an open-side front band, a, bent at the top and bottom, the scarf ends klc,plaited at their top parts, secured to the inside of thefront wall of said band, pro

jecting laterally therefrom, bent downwardly, and again plaited and attached together below the band by a ring or cross-piece, the ends running straight downward and forming a 7 A scarfconsistingof two shields made i puffed head above the ring or cross-piece, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in theipresence of two witnesses.

ISAAG NOAR.
